"the Ending Is Yours" But She Didn't Want It To Be

"my fave did nothing wrong" oh yeah well MY fave fucked everything up and she's still my fave so

(please note, my selection of items is much larger than what is pictured above!)

My name is Margaux and I am also known as Retrophiliac. I am self employed and an autistic activist and advocate based out of western Canada. One of my pins is even in the Museum of Vancouver's openMOV! My main focus with my advocacy work is to push for greater resources and funding for disabled small business owners, as I firmly believe it is the most accommodating employment for those who want it. I am the current president of BC PEOPLE FIRST and we do really important work.

I design pins, patches, stickers, keychains, magnets and so much more.

The majority of my items have a disability, neurodiversity, autistic focus.

I am on Etsy and I also have my own shop best for USA & Canada - however both shops can accommodate all orders.

Etsy will handle VAT, VOSS and IOSS for international orders.

I also post frequently on instagram, facebook and tiktok.

P.S:

I run a few awesome facebook groups:

Made by Autistics Marketplace and Community

Made by Neurodivergents Marketplace and Community

Autistic inclusive dating and friends

Neurodivergent Skills Connect

Disabled Entrepreneurs/Self Employed in British Columbia

I have been receiving some less than stellar comments on some of my content and one of my designs was recently counterfeit and showed up on shein, temu, Etsy and eBay. Sharing this post with your supportive network would be something I would be grateful for! I want to reach the people who will benefit from the work I do, to hopefully create better and more understanding experiences.

The entire goal I have is to help folks but I would love the chance to expand who I am reaching.

it’s just one of those croissant days

This is going to fucking suck but I will not do my enemies’ work for them. I will not just roll over and fucking die.

To all my writers who have a tough time with smut terms and not knowing which ones to use, I have found the holy grail for us.

This reddit user took a poll of 3,500 people and went really in depth with asking their favorite terminology, along with actual pie charts on what the readers preferred to see in their smut.

Here's the direct link to the Google doc with all the info!

timeloop au but it’s just wayne trying to get the ending scene right

Having ADHD to me is spending so much time avoiding feeling bad instead of feeling good

Like sure I can work under pressure, and that pressure involves getting homework in on time to avoid a negative consequence, forcing myself to go to class to avoid that negative consequence, making myself go to work so I get paid which I need to live, trying really hard to not fuck up in group settings so I don't feel guilty, doing household chores because I have to-

But I rarely get actual senses of accomplishment from any of it

Because it's all baseline stuff I have to do to avoid feeling bad. I get a sense of relief, maybe, but not the actual good/yay/charge from it that apparently others do

I only get that from what I call extra credit stuff, which are things I want to do like creative/fun things, or exceeding expectations in something like I worked ahead or something turned out really well

Which obviously isn't all the time

So i plod along most of the time just doing what I literally have to and then I STILL ask myself to do more so I don't feel like a failure/empty/like I did something I personally got a kickback from and not just oh, yeah, perfect grades are my expectation so I don't feel Proud I'm just relieved it isn't bad

Anyway. I don't know what to do about it/maybe I can get my brain to release some kinda Good Job chemicals for things that aren't just extra credit/fun to me but. Cries

Some Grammy throwback pics

Knowing that trans women of color started the movement in the united states and were literally immediately erased and excluded from what they started is the most deeply jading knowledge.

It is the original sin of the so-called queer community and it damns it from the cradle.
